I have a very fustrating issue. I can not open the gas cap on my 944. Tried 2 keys and nothing. Worked the other day but not now. It is so silly but.....
Any suggestions.
How can I remove the cap without the key. I can replace the cap ( I have a spare)
feeling stupid today

If I can get it open sat I will have no choice but to drill it out. Locking in the future is not going to happen. Never had a problem on any of the 944 I have had. 1st time.
My issue with drilling is the fact it is the "gas" cap. Afraid of drill heat sparking a fire. Also worried about stuff falling in the gas tank. This just sucks.

Just pop off the red plastic top. You can remove the locking pawl and all. Then twist the metal barrel out by hand.

When was the last time you changed your timing and balance belts and/or cam chain and tensioner?

Actually you could do it with your fingers but a large screwdriver wrapped in a shop rag would be my first approach.
